Our goal

EVERY PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENT PARTICIPATING IN A REMEMBRANCE DAY CHALLENGE, AT LEAST ONCE.

I-Think Remembrance Day Challenge Kits Pilot (2022)

In Fall 2022, with the support of Veterans Affairs Canada, we piloted the (Re)member Challenge Kits across 6 schools in Ontario. 

The most challenging and entrenched problems we face start with a tension – where neither model completely meets our needs. Each tension of our Remembrance Day Kits was designed to:

  • Expand the experiences we honour and remember in our Remembrance Day traditions
  • Deepen learning that adds complexity to those experiences
  • Be historically accurate in our remembering, and disrupt the places where we are not

BEYOND THE HISTORY BOOKS, THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAT WE CAN’T SEE AT FIRST.

I-Think Remembrance Day Expansion

High engagement and interest from students, schools and community members allowed us to launch the 2023 Expansion of the Remembrance Day Challenge Kit.

New funding will focus on growing reach and designing meaningful student resources to create more opportunities for students to hear from veterans, historians and those connected to war, conflict and peace from of diverse backgrounds and experiences. Ongoing conversations with Veteran Affairs Canada are informing and growing the impact of this challenge.
Our 2023 expansion included a Live Speaker Series, which allowed students to learn more from those connected to war and also have an opportunity to ask questions. Prior to the Live Speaker Series we had videos from the speakers to introduce them and their perspectives

WATCH OUR 2023 STUDENT LAUNCH EVENT!

We launched the challenge by welcoming students and sharing more about why this challenge matters. We were joined by guest speakers Jaxon Heckkenberg and Spencer Alexander who shared their perspectives as student- and adult-historians of war and remembrance. Take a look to learn more about why it’s important that students participate in making Remembrance Day meaningful.
